Thank you both for you comments. Yes, I did test the coil wire coming from the Coil, and yes, I did receive another jolting experience. Thank you MT for the pic. This makes complete sense. I have been pointing it toward the #1 plug, but not towards the six on the flattop. Any suggestions on how to move the oil pump so the distributor seats properly? I put a flathead screwdriver down the distributor with a vise grip on top, but it is hard to move.
Another quick question. Do I always have to find #1 firing position on Crankshaft pulley before reinserting distributor and then shifting oil pump so it seats properly and is pointed towards 6?
Thanks
